I live in GA for 2 main reasons, one because everything that you possibly need is within a short drive: the city, mountains, ocean and two because while everyone else is suffering in the cold of winter, our winters are short lived and it may snow but in 2-3 days we're back to beautiful blue skies and clear streets and walk ways. This has been one of the coldest, snowiest seasons since I have lived here and I don't like it. Actually, I'm kind of over winter and am aching for Spring because just as the Fall, it is my favorite time of year.
I feel I am not alone in my sentiment of winter. About 2 weeks ago Ray's Maxima stopped working. Over the course of a weekend his step dad, Lou (who knows all things mechanical as auto mechanics are his forte) came down from TN to help Ray figure out what's going on with the car. After hours spent, going over several possibilities and different diagnostic checks, Lou had to return back to TN with hopes that by the end of this coming weekend he would figure out the problem and he'd have the car up and running again. Something precarious happened this week however, while Lou was in TN scratching his head and thoroughly thinking thru what course of action to take.
After work on Wednesday I arrived home to hear Ray say: "You wouldn't believe what happened today". Apparently, Ray had gone into his glove compartment, after trying once again to start his car, to find that the napkins that he had in there had been torn to shreds. Ray wouldn't have known what in the world had happened if the evidence of grey little fuzzy hair wasn't left behind in the shreds. "I think I have a mouse in my car and it may have bit into one of the wires" he says to me. I found it hard to believe, that is, up until today.
While Ray and Lou were working on the car, Lou finally made eye to eye contact with the little vermin in the trunk of the car. I've now convinced myself that the poor little mouse was roaming about the cold and found his way into Rays car thinking to himself "What on earth is going on in Georgia? I'm hitching a ride with this chump and hoping he's planning on taking a trip to Florida where it's warm and I can visit my cousin Mickey". It's been so cold in Georgia that now mice have decided their OVER winter too.
We're trying to figure out a humane way of directing this mouse elsewhere. Poor Lou had to spend time tonight laying out an entire map of the wires of the inside of Ray's car so that they can figure out tomorrow if the mouse is the reason that the car stopped working. However, I'm of the opinion that the mouse wouldn't have eaten thru a wire and messed up his plan. In this case, I'm in defense of the mouse, until he is otherwise proven guilty.
